EBC Symposium on “Recent Advances in Hop Science” – Call for Papers open

The EBC Symposium, organized by the European Brewery Convention (EBC), gathers brewing experts and scientists from across Europe and the world to present and discuss in a closed setting the latest research, innovation and trends on a specific topic in the brewing industry. In 2018, alongside the EBC Symposium “Trends in Filtration” (which is part of The Brewers of Europe Forum, 7-8 June, Brussels, Belgium), EBC organizes a symposium on “Recent advances in Hop Science” for which experts are invited to submit a paper in view of oral presentations.

The EBC Hop Symposium welcomes the submission of original contributions for oral presentations only, covering the following areas of expertise:

Recent developments in hop breeding and agronomics

Hop analysis: Latest trends and laboratory methods

Hop flavour and chemistry

Application of hops in the brewery, including dry hopping

Hops, beer and health

The abstract should have a length of between 150 and 250 words and accompanied by a mini-CV outlining the presenters current work or research (100 to 200 words), as well as a portrait photo (size < 1 MB).
